  21. 1) I find that they are very kind and courageous to help the jewish despite the fact that they are not allow to help the Jewish and helping someone during that time is very dangerous.
    2) I find that Anne Frank and the others died miserably, without leading a happy and a proper burial.

  22. 1) I felt that they are helpful and kind enough to help them . In between they might get harm as well because they ain't suppose to . This show that they are really brave .

    2) I felt sad and sorry . They shouldn't have die because they have no fault at all . They just human like anyone of us or them . Poor thing ):
